Make sure that the email address marked as “Preferred” matches the email address you noted in Step 3. If it is not, you will need to change/add that email address and save it as your preferred.

Note: Zoom will not work unless your email address in Outlook matches your preferred email address. If you need to update your preferred email address, please be aware that it can take 12-24 hours for the change to sync.
